"Your husband is looking for you," she says to Mona, in an icy tone. "You had better go to him. This is no place for you." The two were standing in plain sight of the camp and the people in it, and some one went to the chief's lodge and told him what was taking place. "Now, then, cheer up, Paddy!" he says to the boy: "yonder lies an oasis in our howling wilderness.".

"By and by will suit me down to the ground," declares he, easily. "The day is fortunately warm: damp clothes are an advantage rather than otherwise." "There, don't cry, and you shall have it all your own way," he says, with a sigh. "To-morrow we will decide what is to be done." "You—will—say——" Here he breaks down ignominiously, and confesses by his inability to proceed that he doesn't in the least know what it is she can say. "'Who excuses himself, accuses himself,'" quotes Geoffrey. "I want no reasons for your rejection. It is enough that I know you do not care for me.".
